Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I'm not sure if this is you area of expertise but I really am needing some help. My ex fiance is threatening to sue me over 3 student loans ($20,00 roughly) that only she accrued while we were engaged and also for a car that she bought while we were together, tht I drove to and from work when my truck died. I had every intention to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her. if I would have broke off the relationship then maybe I would want to help pay her debit off. But after she told me it was over, she had been talking to another guy, and she wanted me to move, I really have no desire to help her anymore. If she does take me to court can I be held liable for repayment even though I never co-signed or put anything in writing? She is constantly calling and texting me threatening to take me to court and even threatening to get me fired from my job since my boss is her good friend. Also we have a stooge unit that has all of our belongings initial which is in my name and I pay for. Do we legally have to split all the items as well? I just want to know what the law is with all this so I can stop stressing out and get some rest. Thank you and I hope to hear back soon.
sincerely,
Eric Rayburn

The student loans are her debt unless you signed as a responsible person to pay. As to the car - whose name is it in. Just because you drove it does not mean you have to pay for it.
There is no common law marriage in Florida. Sounds to me she has her states messed up.
Her phone calls are a form of harrassment and stalking which is against the law in the state of Florida. As to the storage unit - If the items in the unit are yours - then there is no split - if there are items that belong to her then I suggest you deliver them to her. with a bill for storage.
